okay we moved from Clayton to ladue, and my kids abousolutly hate it here, especially my daugther be cause she cant make friends, i mean she has friends here but she says that she dosn’t have as much and they ar just not like the friends back in Clayton, and it is hard fro her to fit in cuz all the kids are rich and have really nice things like cloth, cell fones, ipods….. how can i help her?
Take her to a library, get her involved into some type of school activity, better yet get her a camera and let her take pictures and do a scrap book, get her moving and motivated

tell her to be her self… i mean kids theese days its hard to “fit in” but if you just be your self she’ll fall in some where… dont let her feel discouraged that her friends there arnt like the ones back in Clayton its going to take some time and if its been a long time its going to take more time then expected.

The best things you can do is teach her self-confidence and self-reliance. Girls are terrible these days. They are vicious. Your daughter has to be strong. Sometimes it will feel to her like she won’t survive. She will need you to tell her that she is beautiful and worthwhile whether she acts like she needs you or not. Good luck. :^)

It is always hard to move and start out somewhere new. It is very rare for a child who was socially sucessful, or at least had a good set of friends, to automatically fit in at a new school. A lot of times it is simply because the child is resisting the move. People inherently do not like change. Your children are reacting the same way.
Give them time, but most importantly, get them involved. If they are not involved in anything, that is going to be a huge problem down the line. If nothing else, it keeps them out of trouble. If you are religious, get involved in church, if they enjoy sports, do that, band, choir, civic groups, etc. There are countless numbers of things they could do.
It is also hard to tell you what to do without knowing their ages. Younger kids will almost always have an easier time than older kids who are going to school with peers that have had several more years to form close bonds with those around them.
While it is difficult to go to school with wealthier children, there are bound to be children who aren’t rich going to these schools as well. If you are not rich, and you live in Clayton, there are bound to be others. Just make sure your children do not take the anti-social route, that will just make things ten times worse in the long run.
